February 14 is right around the corner, and in the age of Tinder and digital dating, classic gestures can go a long way. Combine that with the universal love of all things sweet, and the annual Valentine’s Day gift dilemma practically solves itself. Whether they’re decadent mini cupcakes or silky-smooth truffles, sugary presents and Valentine’s Day are a match made in heaven. As for the singles, these treats taste just as delicious paired with a solo Netflix binge or a night out with friends. So stop by these local shops and spoil your lover – or yourself ­– with something sweet.

10. Wendy’s Chocolates and Gift Baskets Mother of four and classroom volunteer-turned chocolatier Wendy Sorrell has operated this shop for more than 25 years, but her delicious recipes and beautiful gift baskets have stood the test of time. If you’re into over-the-top presentations and sappy puns, this is the Valentine’s Day destination for you. Chocolate disks in the shape of vinyls that read “Just for the record, I love you” ($8) and Cupid Poop ($3) – a mini shovelful of strawberries and cream bark with a poem attached – are the types of goodies you’ll find here, and they certainly make for a gift that’s hard to forget (17856 S. Dixie Hwy., Miami).

Potential Valentine's Day gifts from Miami Beach Chocolates range from traditional boxes to more extravagant displays like this one.

9. Miami Beach ChocolatesAt Miami Beach Chocolates (456 W 41st St., Miami Beach), you can have your box of truffles and eat it too. That's right – the family-owned shop sells heart-shaped boxes made completely out of chocolate to showcase their handcrafted sweets. Since 2009, the mother-son duo behind Miami Beach Chocolates has been creating confections that are just as perfect for a huge event as they are for a simple romantic gesture. Everything's also completely kosher, and creative edible options like a five-piece chocolate rose bouquet ($30) and a chocolate teddy bear ($10) are also available.

8. Jimmie's Chocolates Jimmie's Chocolates has been a Dania institution since 1947, with the little shop selling handmade candies, chocolates, and bon bons for generations. Walking into the shop is a bit like walking into a time machine where every day is Valentine's Day — festive hearts, candy shoes, and chocolate covered pretzels cover every square inch of space from floor to ceiling — almost as if Cupid and Willy Wonka had a baby and this was its room. The flagship Dania shop (148 N. Federal Hwy.) is also home to an adorable cafe, and Jimmie's has expanded to two other locations, at 1426 NE 26 St. in Wilton Manors and at 2621 S. University Dr. in Davie. If hiking to Broward is a schlep, you can order by phone at (954) 922-0441.

In addition to truffles, Exquisito Fine Chocolates sells more creative takes on chocolate like these S'more Chuckles ($8 for a box of 4).
